Why Trump's hurricane map overshadowed CNN's climate town hall

Two nights. Twenty contenders. Dozens of promises. One election that’s still 17 months away.

There was little political theater because there were no reality show-worthy insults or personal attacks. Everyone that walked on stage was at least professional enough to pay attention to the the true enemy: global warming. Had this been a forum of Republican candidates, it would have been an entirely different production, and likely a media spectacle. Fox’s “Climate Change: Another Obama Hoax?” town hall would start at the beginning. “Is global warming real?” Prove it, they might ask, in between news breaks showing homes underwater and trees splintered into popsicle sticks.

To be fair, the White House was focused on the storm, or at least their version of it. During an Oval Office briefing Wednesday, Trump showed a map of the National Hurricane Center forecast from last week that appeared to be doctored with black Sharpie to show that Alabama — a state that few, if any, meteorologists said was under threat — was in Dorian’s potential path.

The questionable map came after Trump incorrectly tweeted over the weekend that it was headed for Alabama. The National Weather Service in Birmingham, Ala., responded by tweeting “Alabama will NOT see any impacts from #Dorian. We repeat, no impacts from Hurricane #Dorian will be felt across Alabama. The system will remain too far east.”

Media needs to emphasize each and every time Trump pushes his documented lying smearing bullshit conspiracies and reiterate that facts matter! Trump Russian puppet documented criminal totally corrupt incompetent should be impeached immediately FACTS MATTER

Why his people gave him a map is beyond me. He’s no weather expert.

LorraineAli The LAT policy to not allow any op ed (no matter the science bio of the writer) that refutes the man-made Warming alarmism is the antithesis of free debate and the scientific method. LatBansScience kyoshino DrPatSoonShiong

I hear that the CNN Climate Town Hall came in last in the cable ratings for that night. 🤣

Because people are stupid?

Trump has seriously lost his mind. This country is really screwed up. If democrats can't beat him, I'm registering as independent. Don't be cowards

Why? Because you idiots are stage 4 TDS. 😂🤣😂🤣🤪

And the network spews garbage.

Disagree, climate town hall was not 'overshadowed' by anything. However, journalism obsession with Trump tweets overshadow the reality of a critical time in our history.

Why people loved Peyton Place.

Trump outsmarted them AGAIN!

My dog humping the neighbors dog overshadowed CNN’s climate town hall. It’s was a 7 hour joke. The lunatic fringe left just gets crazier every day,

TDS.

It's a distraction from the federal government f****** up healthcare and immigration. Magicians trick and their running out of dumb s*** to distract everyone. Wouldn't be surprised if they created the natural disaster to try to bring everyone together and distract everyone.

Because he can.

Too funny. They got had again.

...apparently?!!!?!

LorraineAli lol...msm: why are we so mediocre?

LorraineAli China is the leading polluter. How should we destroy them?

Joe Walsh on Racism, Regret, and Why He’s Primarying Donald TrumpJoe Walsh on his presidential campaign, how he explains his most messed-up statements, and what happens if he accidentally gets himself elected president. A conversation with Olivianuzzi Olivianuzzi “What I was trying to say is, “No, I don’t think I’m a racist.” I know I’m not a racist. I think if we’re all honest, we’re all a little bit racist.” JFC 😐 Olivianuzzi None of the photos load in the app for the avedon article. An article about photos. You do know you ruined your app right? It’s pure shit. Look at the App Store reviews Olivianuzzi This guy is intellectually weak on the issue of racism. It is painful to read how self-unaware he seems to be and oblivious to the role our surroundings, culture, and historical conditioning have played in our formation as Americans. As a 78 year old white male, I am appalled.
